[QUOTE="totally drained, post: 368001"] Small World, Thank you so much for welcoming me. I am unsure of how to format my signature? I'm not sure what the letters stand for? The difficult child 1, easy child/difficult child 2, etc. I will be happy to create one :) As for your questions, she is EXTREMELY defiant. For example, we tell her several times not to do something (in a day) and she repeatedly does it. When she is asked to do something (like pick up her toys) she yells no and becomes rageful. Again, this is an every day occurrence. At school, she gets into trouble for not sitting still. I have had several conversations with her teacher regarding this, advising her teacher that she cannot control her movement due to the ADHD. It always fell on deaf ears. She literally runs the house. I don't have the energy anymore to argue with her. She picks fights with her older brothers and, shamefully, I yell at them to just leave her be. I know that she instigates it but when I discipline her she rages. She yells, attacks physically by pushing and hitting, throws things, etc. She doesn't take any medications currently. I'm struggling with that one. I don't trust medications with her being so young (will be 7 on july 17th). I am so afraid of negative side effects and even death. As for how she does in school. Well, academically she barely passed 1st grade. She had no level of concentration, constantly getting up and wandering around the classroom, talking when she shouldn't have been, etc. We did find out a few months ago that she needs glasses so we do have those now. Hopefully that will be some help for her this coming school year. Friends? She has a few. She contantly fights with them. Always telling them what to do. Some of them won't play with her any more.
